I’m an older person and want you to know I’m very impressed with your family’s work ethic. You left desk jobs in the city for which you had been educated and moved across country to grow your own food. God bless you! You have been open to good advice and taught yourselves as you’ve grown. You didn’t go out and buy equipment but did things the labor intensive way. You have used that intelligence you were blessed with to get where you are presently. I wish you could contact some of these equipment companies like the Arms Family has done and receive a tractor and other equipment in exchange for sponsorship. I believe you have earned some perks! Best wishes!❤🙂

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Looking good.

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

One thing that is NOT small is that greenhouse! Good WORK! Thanks for the inspiration! 🌱

[@hillarywright7965]

Another good thing about growing up on a farm is you get to learn how to drive early! ❤

[@user-ns8ct7ke3k]

I pray a sponsor steps up to the plate and supplies Jason with a tractor! I see the big time Utubers where they are offered tractors all the time to use. This is a wonderful hard working family that a tractor would be so useful for them on their farm!! You will not regret stepping forward and blessing this family with a tractor!!❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Congratulations on moving 35 yards of soil and getting your high tunnel beds ready too. 🎉🎉 Major accomplishment. Great video‼️

[@stevenkoontz2567]

One of my favorite channels to watch. I can't wait to get home when I see the notifications. I see alot of you tubers getting some equipment sponsored and or test out. If anyone needs this it's you all.

[@roadlifewith_luke]

So cool teaching the kid to drive stick!! That's the only reason I'm still holding onto my rusty ranger lol.

[@jeanneshannon5607]

I learned on a Ford Pinto!!😊

[@siouxgerowsays]

I like the way you set up the beds - I think it makes a lot of sense

[@margaretbedwell3211]

To have moved 35 yds. of soil and formed all the beds in the high tunnel with just the 3 of you is monumental. Penelope, you made a wonderful contribution to this effort and got in lots of training on a stick shift as well. Good for you. I know your parents are so proud of you. Just hoping like so many others in your subs group, we are hoping someone like maybe TYM Tractors will step up and sponsor you in return for a nice tractor. Thanks for sharing this video. Y'all have a Blessed day. BTW Penelope, that is a mighty fine looking pizza you have made for the family dinner.

[@theresafox4367]

Your High tunnel is already looking wonderful. It's going to be a great growing space.

[@ruthstill169]

I love it! I pray you can get a tractor sponsorship very soon, in Jesus's name amen.

[@theduke8077]

Excellent family commitment all working together 🇬🇧

[@Donnasplace]

I hope you’re able to get a tractor soon. With all the land you have it is a necessity. Your property is coming together so beautifully. I’d be jealous but I’m very happy to see you and your family prospering. May God continue to bless you.

[@Roger-gs5ew]

Not only did the Greenhouse look good, that Pizza also looked very good.😀

[@sgrvtl7183]

I like Lorraine’s idea to have horizontal rows in the high tunnel❗️👌 congratulations on moving all the soil. Look forward to your gardens this summer❗️

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Sow the Land videos!

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Great job and the set up looks just fine for what you want to do, I would add cardboard and wood chips between the isles and the long path next to the beds to prevent the weed from growing back:)

[@mgtmoffat8411]

My 89 year old hubby is a spade and barrow man. We needed several long trenches when we put the power underground. One of the workmen asked what kind of digger he used as the trenches were so tidy. Hubby showed him his spade!!! You three deserve a treat after your efforts over the last two days. Well done. 💕💕🌻🌻

[@gypsiegyrl4007]

You guys worked so hard and it turned out amazing. Looking forward to seeing veges growing in that tunnel.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all, peace and joy. Way to 'Burn Rubber' Young Lady.

[@diannemiller4754]

I agree it does look like fun but i think it will take a bit to move all the soil😮 Way to go girls fill that truck. Team work. I'm impressed Penelope is driving stick shift😊 Perfect solution. Wow the sides of the truck works as a tailgate too😮😊

[@clarencewiles963]

You need to add a dump body to the truck. Electric hydraulic kit.

[@juleswins3]

P driving a right hand drive stick shift! Get after it girl!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Userxyz-z2d]

4:03 That music is beautiful! A lot of work hauling all that compost. Your farm is looking better & better. Its beautiful.

[@SpadeAce]

Dang bro wish this was a livestream so I could save all your backs 😂 just grab a tarp and lay it down in the pickup bed, fill it up and then drive it over to the greenhouse. When it’s there, ties the tarp to the machine and pull backwards- it’ll slide all the dirt out of the bed in one fell swoop.

[@loriy7532]

Love the way you set up the High tunnel, your garden work is going to pay off. The pizza looks delish.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We have a mini skid and it is the best mini machine you can have on the homestead. We can’t do without it and use it way more than the tractor. Love your poly tunnel ❤

[@sheribristol2826]

I really like the layout of the greenhouse beds. It looks like it'll be mentally easier to manage. Groups instead of long rows, great idea!

[@debbiewood7718]

I like that layout. That would work well for how my brain wants to layout garden beds.

[@sonyagregory5711]

Oh happy day! That is a beautiful high Tunnel. I know Lorraine is in Heaven. She can plant till her heart is full! Great job Penelope!

[@linmcdon1662]

Loooooooooove your sense of humor.

[@miriammarquez4061]

Great job guys!! And a big applause for the ladies that worked very hard and then cooked!!

[@wildkingdom2012]

Looks like a nice couple of days' work. That little truck is super handy.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Jason and Loraine nice to see you Love watching your video homestead bye

[@Miss.Libby.]

Truly a family effort and I’m sure all your hard work will be rewarded with a flourishing garden. A great job folks. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺

[@joycebrown9430]

Jason, you are a hard worker and you have 2 girls to be proud of!

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

A small tractor is a game changer. It allows you to save so much time. Bought mine new (1025r) 3 years ago and man i wish i would have bought it 15 years ago. Cheers guys.

[@peterrowellranson8649]

The beds look great as well 👍 😅😊❤❤well done ladies and Jason tractor 🚜 people reach out

[@capt.ronswoodworks9344]

Looking good. I am seeing a need for a tractor with a bucket very soon as you keep growing your homestead.

[@robertlemoine3500]

You are doing fine guys . One step at a time .😊

[@ramenbob4242]

time for a tilt bed conversion on the mini truck...

[@dianekrasuski5677]

Saw this hack where you load the truck bed with buckets. Reduced shovelling as you just dump the buckets where needed.

[@Greens5511]

Dang! That was a lot of work!! I bet u all feel good about all of it! 💪💪💪

[@JustinTurner000]

your daughter is learning a soon to be forgotten skill of stick shift lol. also amazing the little truck fits right into the high tunnel. I wonder if you could run a water catchment system on the side of the green house into a Under ground water collection system like a 500g drum and use it with a pump to water the crops.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Great Job . . . now that be some hard farm work. Cheers.

[@karenarnold7693]

Wow,what a lot of hard work. Just think how much harder it would have been without that machine. Think about all the good food you will be able to grow. Nice to see the whole family working together.

[@latin95]

Well done everyone!! Amazing job 👏

[@CalmCowBell]

Came to see piglets. Stayed for the great music! Thanks, Jason!

[@sharonhaas8503]

💝💞💖 Hard work for sure! 🍕 Penelope's pizza looked like a fantastic reward! ❤ Love watching you work together! Take care! ❇❇❇

[@donnanorris4733]

Wow! Such hard work moving all that dirt. Great job! My back hurts just watching :-). Hope you have a great garden this year!

[@jimconner2402]

Wished the mini truck had a dump bed!

[@leeanneg7247]

All I can say is WOW!!! Y’all really knocked that out!❤

[@25Soupy]

Well done C family!

[@user-vl5bj6of2s]

High tunnel looks amazing!! Good idea. You guys work so hard. I can't wait to watch all the food preservation you do this fall.❤❤

[@janwolvin2773]

Great family job

[@mariesheppard3750]

Nice job and that parts done, now there planting. watering , weeding. and cooking and best for last eating

[@GinaKayLandis]

What an incredible accomplishment!! Congrats on figuring the most efficient way to get the earth where you need it. Hope you enjoyed the pizza treat! See you in the next one!

[@opalezell2166]

Enjoyed your video!

[@user-qe9ih8tq3l]

That was a lot of work you all did A great job

[@Coptergirljs]

When you put stakes in the ground especially metal always put cans over them. It is very easy to trip and fall on one. It is also a way to mark where the stakes are so you can keep track of where you are. Safety first!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i love the family doing it all hugsssss

[@yarninthehollow9960]

Great job.

[@bobainsworth5057]

The women are doing all the work. Good job. Rent a " ditch-wotch and you can bury pvc as fast as it thakes to drive the distance and it doesn't leave a trenck it leaves a slit.

[@Philhoppermiller]

I watch the pod cast that you three do. Each one of you guys have different skill levels. It is so informative. I like your high tunnel and garden beds. i hope all your fencing is completed soon. A suggestion: Add fertilizer, bone meal and blood meal to your soil before you plant for good yields. And heed the experts suggestions as to what to plant next to each other.

[@elizabethwelner5550]

You should add some flowering hanging baskets in there as well to help attract pollinators! I'm so jealous! Haha. Great job guys!!

[@gailbrault9251]

You three did a lot of hard labor in 2 days!

[@annarivera4636]

Good job driving the mini truck Penelope, you got skills! 😜

[@robertschroeder1978]

Thank you for the video and for the updates on the start to your 2024 gardening. Good to see the whole family out working together on the project. Blessings...

[@conniegraves1773]

Love the job. Especially how everyone jumps in and was working

[@elroycober3720]

“Might be fun?” Looks like great fun.

[@jasonhatfield4747]

I own a Dingo for our farm and I have to say it's hands down the most useful tool I can imagine having for a small farm. They can be used for not just moving materials, but there are all sorts of attachments that can do things like brush cutting, drilling holes with an auger, raking, tilling, grapples, etc. They are so so useful. And the best part is they can get into small spaces where bobcats can't

[@barbaraslayden2277]

I like it alot of work may God bless the work 12:00 which we all need to do grow what we eat. Love from Virginia

[@user-op9oo4ft9c]

I feel like I let my daughter down by not giving her the opportunity to grow in a rural environment. But I have a 19 month old grandson that I watch during the week and he will be of the land. Ms Penelope is a Rockstar. You guys are are killin it.

[@juliangarcia-sp4vp]

Love the way the high tunnel is coming along! Looks really nice.

[@marvamurray2283]

We're praying for you to have a tractor soon. God will provide for your every need if you believe!

[@margaretpervier8357]

I wish Kubota would’ve reach out to you😊❤. Good work!

[@ailenesmith8207]

Love how u layed out the soil in the high tunnel looks great

[@mikeplummer8904]

I think you’re going to have a great garden with an amazing yield. That’s a lot of hard work.

[@MsChopperdog]

Nice job guys, I enjoy watching you !!

[@TheMennomilist]

Wow so much soil! Learning stick is VERY good. The best drivers know how to drive stick shift, honestly! My husband drives stick and started to teach me when we were in high school, but I was too scared to drive on the road (he taught me in a parking lot). I remember getting rides to high school before I drove my own car, and all of the people drove so terribly other than the one girl who drove stick! I was really in awe of that. I love homemade pizza! I make it every week for my family. I look forward to seeing what you guys plant this year. -(formerly) JusticePirate

[@Christiscomingquickly]

Is the grass and weeds gonna come up in your high tunnel? Next time you might think about laying cardboaed down first. Its a game changer😉

[@maryalexander4091]

As they say, many hands make light work!! Good on you guys!!

[@mikebills9343]

Watching from Spain, just retired and getting things together to grow our own food , very exiting

[@ritahall8653]

That was a lot of work

[@miephoex]

Love, love and have the utmost respect for this farm family! 😊 Oh 😫 oh 😣 editing mishaps. 😅

[@brentpaulus3114]

My mother says your rows look like a row of graves.... I was almost fell on the floor laughing. Wish I had a high tunnel that big. Keep up the good fight.

[@jsloan9610]

Always something new. 😂 Love your mini truck and rental scooper! You guys work hard.

[@marilynclayton3430]

Looks great! 💚

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks! 😄

[@Mary-yu3sn]

THAT MACHINE WILL SPREAD IT EASY TOO

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome progress guys 😊

[@higheriam]

Amendments... 🌱 Dirt vs. Soil 🪴

[@Beps128]

I really love how you setup the rows in the high tunnel!

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed watching y’all work as a family ❤

[@aprilshowershomestead]

Love it! Great job guys!!

[@faithrada]

Nice job guys! WE STILL have 6" of snow here kn New England but I'm now inspired!

[@promomm]

I really like how you did the rows in the high tunnel.

[@douglasbooker8330]

Jason Brother! You got it all planned out 😂 God bless

[@ChrisSmith-do3ou]

A dump/ tip tray mod on the mini truck might come in handy 🤔

[@richardroyles1423]

The three of you moved a lot of dirt. The pizza look good. God bless.

[@andrewseamans1419]

You'd be perfect for TYM or Kioti. Here's hoping you get a sweetheart deal.
